Zoya True Collection Spring 2012 - Swatches and Review

Today I'm excited to share the Zoya True Collection with you all. The collection consists of 3 creams and 3 metallic glitters/shimmers. I photographed them in sun and shade because some of the polishes really varied by light. Zoya did a great job with describing each polish so I used their description for each.

Cho - opaque yellow-toned soft peachy beige with a hint of ultra fine silver shimmer. I was really surprised by how much a liked this one. I'm always picky when it comes to neutrals. Cho looked great against my skin tone and required 3 coats.Farah - opaque light khaki-beige with subtle sandy greenish undertones and a cream finish. Farah's formula is a lot thicker than Cho. It also appears to have more gray and required less coats. I used 2 coats to make it opaque. Bevin - dusty medium sage green with teal tones and a creamy opaque finish. I really love this one. I immediately thought green tea when I put it on. It looks more dusty in the sun and more creamy in natural light. Very beautiful.Skylar - medium steel blue with a softened, dusty look and speckled by visible gold and silver shimmer flecks. I ooohed and ahhhhed when I applied Skylar. The silver peaking through the blue made me drool. Love it!Lotus - a very soft blue toned amethyst-purple with colorful shimmer that reflects pink, red and gold. The shimmer peaking through the soft purple makes the overall look more interesting.Tru - A saturated red-tone grape purple with speckled shimmer that reflects gold, orange and red. My camera couldn't appropriately capture the beauty of Tru. A grape bonanza with hints of red and orange shimmer. I used 2 coats.

A view of the entire collection.

The True Collection is a beautiful conglomerate of soft shades to help you transition from Winter to Spring. The neutrals are great for the workplace but not too boring. When I look at them together I immediately think resort. The second half of the collection is comprised of captivating soft brights with multidimensional glitter or shimmer. My favorites from the collection are Bevin, Skylar and Tru.
